First start-up
The Nokia 9110 Communicator can send and receive calls and messages only
when the phone is switched on, has a valid SIM card fitted, and is located in
the service area of the cellular network. However, emergency calls to the
international emergency number 112 may be made without the SIM card in
some networks. Please, check with your network operator.
1 Close the device cover and ensure that the phone is switched off. If it is on,
press .
2 If the battery is connected to the communicator, remove the battery: press
the catch at the top of the battery and lift the battery away from the
battery cavity.
3 Slide the SIM card into the SIM card slot: ensure that the gold contacts of
the SIM card are facing down and that the bevelled corner of the card is on
the right. See figure 2.
Figure 1
Figure 2
Note: Keep all miniature SIM
cards out of small children’s
reach.
Quick guide

4 When the SIM card is properly inserted into the SIM card slot, the bevelled
corner will remain visible. See figure 3.
5 When you are sure that the SIM card is correctly installed, replace the
battery. If there is little or no charge in the battery, it is recommended that
you connect the communicator to the charger and start charging the
battery before continuing with the start-up procedure. See below.
6 Open the cover of the communicator. You will see a welcome screen while
the communicator performs a self-test.
7 After the self-test is complete, you will see a list of countries on the
display, see figure 4. Scroll the dark grey selection frame using the arrow
keys on the keyboard over the name of your home country. Press the
button on the right side of the display next to the command OK. The
capital of your home country will be set as your home city.
8 Write the current date in the input field using the format dd.mm.yy, for
example 22.03.98, and press OK.
Figure 3
Figure 4
Note: The battery does not fit into place if the SIM
card is not correctly installed. Do not force the battery
into place! Check that you have inserted the SIM card
into the slot as described above. If the SIM card is
incorrectly installed, remove it by pulling it away from
the slot, and insert it again.
Quick guide

9 Write the current time using the 24-hour format hh:mm, for example
17:25, and press OK.
10 Enter your contact information in the user data card and press OK.
The first start-up is now completed.
After the start-up, do not immediately remove the battery, as the battery
charges the backup battery that supplies power to the real-time clock of the
communicator.
To charge the battery
1 Connect the charger lead to the bottom of the communicator:
2 Connect the charger to the proper voltage AC wall outlet. While charging
is in progress, the battery charge indicator scrolls on the display.
To use the battery
Use only batteries approved by the communicator manufacturer and recharge
the battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. With
approved chargers and accessories, the battery can be charged continuously.
The battery need not be fully discharged before recharging. When a charger is
not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery
connected to a charger for longer than a week, since excessive charging may
shorten its life. If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over
time.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will
eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is
noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
Figure 5
Note: The communicator can
be used normally during
charging.
Quick guide

Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: allow it
to cool down or warm up first.
Battery operation time is affected by the following: whether both the phone
and the communicator interface are on, radio signal strength, various phone
settings, the use of the backlight, and the length of the screen blanker period.
It is recommended always to keep a charged battery in the communicator.
Keeping the battery charged maximises the lifetime of the backup battery
supplying power to the real-time clock of the communicator. In case the
backup battery is drained, it will be automatically charged the next time a
charged battery is reconnected to the communicator.
Always close the device cover before removing the battery. Closing the cover
will save all data.
Note
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a
metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes direct connection of the + and -
terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the battery), for example,
when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the
terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or
winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always
try to keep the battery between +15°C (+59°F) and +25°C (+77°F). A
communicator with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even
when the battery is fully charged. The performance of Lithium-ion batteries is
particularly limited in temperatures below 0°C (+32°F).
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Batteries must not
be disposed of in municipal waste.

The communicator interface is switched on simply by opening the cover. The
application that was active the last time the communicator was used is
